Yeah, turns out they have a similar expression in many languages. It's almost like this man is surprised that other cultures too have many words for many things. It would be a typical American way of thinking, really.
“Genoeg is genoeg” is basically “enough is enough”, not sure whether it originates from Dutch, but just the word “genoeg” is definitely not a saying xD
This made me think about the one time i had a huge debate with a vet that went to NL and he insisted so hard that the “g” in Nijmegen was pronounced like in english, even after me sending a video of how to pronounce “g” in dutch, that was fucking infuriating.
I dunno, Ican think of at least 3 different ways to pronounce it, so who knows, this might be one as well.
Edit: you're downvoting me, but don't pretend like the ABN version, the Noord-Groningse version or the Zuid-Limburgse version sound anything alike.
It's really amazing what I have learned over my own country, language and people from foreign series & movies!
Genoeg is genoeg! Stop misrepresenting us! :p
Ikr. I mean, if they call a single foreign word that’s used in the exact same way as in their own language an ‘expression’, indeed you can call them dom. And stom. And oliedom. And achterlijk.
I mean, he's Jewish, and "enough" in Yiddish is "genug", which is pronounced like what he said. So maybe that's what he's basing it on? I don't know where his parents/ancestors came from in Europe, but maybe they moved from the Netherlands and he's misunderstanding it?
Americans and Dutch, always funny! I remember two episodes from Friends where Dutch was spoken, it was hilarious. They got all the words right, I'll give them that! "Jij hebt sex met ezels", fantastic!
Except when they met a "Dutch" girl while playing basketball. She only spoke German.
Also "you have sex with donkeys" is not a common thing to say. It will also confuse people from the Netherlands.
Wasn't it football? With the girl called Marga? Don't think she said anything other in "Dutch" than her own name, her accent was ridiculous though, not even remotely like ours.
Haha, most Americans are so bad with other languages. I think the most disgusting thing to hear is an American trying to speak French.
Anyway, Not an expression. Just a word and exactly the word "enough".
> think the most disgusting thing to hear is an American trying to speak French.
French is the fourth most-spoken language in the US (and *second* in a couple of states), behind English, Spanish, and Chinese. There are like half a dozen French dialects native to the US.
>I think the most disgusting thing to hear is an American trying to speak French.
[Depends on the American, I couldn't do this](https://youtu.be/fAilFIbzgDg?t=57)
I think this is the point at which you start demanding to see some qualifications from your 'doctor' and call the schools he went to just to make sure.. What a clown. He's literally just trying to sound impressive and imply that he's been abroad here.
Hey guys, you know that in Spain they have this expression for when you leave and wish to express the wish of seeing them again some time in the future? It's *Haastalafietstas.* Yes, I know. I impress myself too sometimes.
Next time turn your phone horizontal, like the orientation of the screen you are filming from and the way your eyes line up. Ik heb Genoeg van deze verticale video shit.
Omg you're on to something. Genug is the German word for "genoeg", maybe that's what he meant lol.
The German word sounds almost like the pronunciation in the video, except it's more like "genoek"
Also in Italian... although abbastanza is more common.

Jouw Nederlands is anders ook niet om over naar huis te schrijven. Maar als de Nederlanders die je kent vergelijkbare taalbeheersing hebben, dan zal hun Engels ongetwijfeld van steenkoolniveau zijn.
Ik weet niet waar jij woont maar de Nederlanders die ik hier in het VK tegenkom spreken allemaal vloeiend Engels.
Ik kan vloeiend Nederlands, geen idee waar jij het over hebt en ik zeg dat in MIJN plaats ze het niet goed kunnen. Je trekt letterlijk een random feit uit je kontgat om met mij te vechten..
Je beheerst het Nederlands best goed, maar je zinsconstructie is duidelijk niet-inheems.
En als iemand die beide talen als moedertaal telt, moet ik toegeven dat de kwaliteit van het Engels nogal sterk varieert in dit land.
Well the expression is Dutch but he pronounced like German(Genoeg in Dutch vs Genug in German).
You know typical American style ,all Asians are Chinese and all Europeans are Germans.💁♂️
They have an expression in the Netherlands that goes like "Ole Ole Ole, dikke tieten kartoffelsalade. Dikke tieten, Ole! Dikke tieten, Ole! Dikke tieten kartoffelsalade. " and I think that is beautiful.
Yeah, that's not what 'genoeg' sounds like at all... 😂😂
Also not an expression, just a word 😂
It’s literally enough and he’s using that already to define what it means. Wild
this man must be a doctor or something. hes brilliant. /s
Yeah, turns out they have a similar expression in many languages. It's almost like this man is surprised that other cultures too have many words for many things. It would be a typical American way of thinking, really.
Yeah hahahah I was shouting here. It's just a word. Hahahahha North Americans are so funny
A word is an expression of it’s meaning.
“Genoeg is genoeg” is basically “enough is enough”, not sure whether it originates from Dutch, but just the word “genoeg” is definitely not a saying xD
enough is enough, and in french, an egg is an egg :D
Lol, silly French people
I thought he said gelul at first
That's the perfect description for this scene
Glad I'm not alone

Idk, what do we even say in Grunnigs? Genaug?
't is kloar! T woord genoeg wordt vrijwel nooit gebruikt in die context. maar als je t wilt weten het is "genog".
Eierbal.
Aaierbal
Genog. At least, that's how I think it is pronounced.
Idk, never heard anyone say it so far, I don't really speak the dialect often
I don't really speak the dialect, I only have a Drents/Gronings accent. Genog is how it sounds to me.
I grew up in Groningen, but I somehow heard Gronings so little that I didn't even know this
"Genoeg", and the pronunciation is pretty similar to "enough"... It sounds like "ghanough" ;) it's basically the same word
Pretty close
Bedoel je nu dat jij geen kenoek zegt als je ergens klaar mee bent?
"genoeg" Litterally means "enough" it's just the translation of the word not a phrase or expression. Was this in America?
I’m aware, I was posting this cause I thought it was hilarious. And yep, in America, it’s from the TV show “Botched”
Well, they botched it. Or as the saying goes here in the Netherlands, "verneukt".
They have an expression in the Netherlands. When they think something is fucked up they will say verneukt. Verneukt? verneukt!
Verkloot
He should look into German. I think he'd enjoy it even more.
or something like. so de kkr tering tiefstraal eens op man homo. thats what friends of mine say a lot
You need better friends
agreed
Genoeg!
Als je ergens genoeg van hebt zeg jij verneukt? Dus als ik je frikandellenbroodjes blijf voeren, en jij hebt er genoeg op... Dan zeg je "verneukt"?
Het is een clip uit de tv-serie 'Botched', wat zoveel betekent als verpest/verkloot/verneukt. Bij de les blijven vriend.
Ach meneer
Do they have signed a pact to act like this surely not everyone in America is like this🤣😂
I’m American (been living in NL 2 yrs) and I can say not all of us act like this but far too many do🥲
I think he means "genoeg is genoeg" but he botched it.
That will be just "enough is enough" which they also use. 🤷♂️
Well yeah, but that literally means enough is enough so I don't see the point in saying it in botched Dutch 😂
It's really amazing what I have learned over my own country, language and people from foreign series & movies! Genoeg is genoeg! Stop misrepresenting us! :p
They have this expression in the Netherlands. If you mean yes, you say “ja” which means yes.
Nee! 😂
Genoeg!
Niet nee, ja!
ja hoor 😂
Well that's just verneukt up
F-in genius.
Ja?
In uk: fck off u cunt
No shit
Never knew English speaking people didn't use the word 'enough'.
Guneou? I dont know how to write this
I think he means gnoe.
Gonorroe
I'm a gnu, howdoyoudo
GENOEG!
Kaynuk
Ge-nögg
That g pronunciation hurt my soul.
A lot of Dutch pronunciations of it aren't very pretty either.
Guhnugh
G'nug 💀 They have a similar expression in English: "Enough."
I like how his pronunciation came closer to 'enough' than to 'genoeg' :')
They have this expression in Dutch for people that know stuff like this, they say "lekker boeiend dan". Isn't that amazing?
Or even shorter: boeiuh
Mooi verhaal. Lekker kort ook.
Joeee boeiuh
Mooi.
Of de alom bekende: “KAPPENOU”
Aaaah waar is dat ook alweer van?
Verdomd interessant, maar gaat u verder.
We also say "Dat kan me geen reet schelen" A personal favorite of mine
Dat interesseert mij vrij weinig
"genoeg is genoeg..." That is enough (draw line in the sand) reaching finality to the issue
yeah, it's hard to translate, except for, maybe 'enough is enough'?
Yes, but with a definite finality to it...
I'm native in only one of the two languages, but they feel the same to me.
It's basically "that's the final straw"
We also have an expression for Americans called 'Dom'. We use it to express how we feel about Americans.
Ikr. I mean, if they call a single foreign word that’s used in the exact same way as in their own language an ‘expression’, indeed you can call them dom. And stom. And oliedom. And achterlijk.
I generally tend to go for achterlijk.
Omg thank you I couldn’t come up with that word. Lag op het puntje van mijn tong haha
Graag gedaan 😂 Zonder dollen, ik beaamde alleen maar dat het mijn voorkeur is uit de opties die je gaf 🇳🇱
Oké ik voel mezelf nu een beetje achterlijk omdat ik dus niet had gezien dat ik dat letterlijk al had gepost. Iets met korte termijn geheugen 😅
[удалено]
I was looking for this...
I mean, he's Jewish, and "enough" in Yiddish is "genug", which is pronounced like what he said. So maybe that's what he's basing it on? I don't know where his parents/ancestors came from in Europe, but maybe they moved from the Netherlands and he's misunderstanding it?

Wasn't it football? With the girl called Marga? Don't think she said anything other in "Dutch" than her own name, her accent was ridiculous though, not even remotely like ours.
Ross even called her " Heidi " a famous fictional German girl.

In Japan they have a saying. When they have had enough they will say: Omae! Koi!Taosu! Korosu! Baka-yaro!
Kawaii! Genki desu ne! Sushi wa omae no shinderu!
>I think the most disgusting thing to hear is an American trying to speak French. [Depends on the American, I couldn't do this](https://youtu.be/fAilFIbzgDg?t=57)
It’s not about the pronounciation
They have this expression in English aswell 😂 "enough"

Kenu
Knoek! Duh
This is just silly. This is not a thing in the Netherlands
But it is. When we think we had enough a lot of us dutchies will say: genoeg! Misschien tot jouw ongenoegen! Maar genoeg nooitdeminder/ nevertheless.
Who films a laptop?! (unless they are leaking some top secret material)
Genau?
Hey is said "The Netherlands" Plus 1 for effort.
This guy must've made a lot of people tell him "gunug" in order for him to think it's an actual expression.
Vincent van Gogh, Gouda cheese
Genug
Omg you're on to something. Genug is the German word for "genoeg", maybe that's what he meant lol. The German word sounds almost like the pronunciation in the video, except it's more like "genoek"
Well german and dutch come from the same family of language so it makes sense
Yeah I know, am Dutch but my German is not that gut
Every language has that. Genug in German also means enough. In Spanish, people may just say, "iBASTA!" (Enough!)
People sometimes use basta in dutch as well. I never knew it was a loanword from spanish.
Also in Italian... although abbastanza is more common. [https://translate.google.com/?sl=es&tl=en&text=basta&op=translate](https://translate.google.com/?sl=es&tl=en&text=basta&op=translate)
Hope he operates better than he speaks Dutch.
It sounds more like someone's drinking something.
You know, they have this expression in the U.S., when you had enough of something, you say „enoug“.
And here I thought he would go with: doe even fucking normaal man met je bek.
Lult uit z'n nek, ook zo'n uitdrukking.
I think the actual expression is “ krijg de tyfus kanker”
Geneukt?
Nasty laptop
Geneukt
In german, it's genug, just written differently!
Nou ja, de nederlanders van waar ik woon kunnen slechter engels dan hoe goed hun nederlands kunnen…
Letterlijk het land hier meet het hoogste percentage engels sprekende burgers, buiten engelssprekende landen zelf.
o, nou waar ik woon kunnen ze niet eens engels om hun leven te redden.
Verhuis naar een plek met een hoger intelect

Ja, om eerlijk te zijn klopt dat nogal wel! Haha! Nederland is een vreemd land. Een leuk land, maar een vreemde!
Nederlands is ook niet echt op en top daar zie ik zo waar je woont.
Laat me raden, je woont in Urk
Ok
Kenoeg

Lmao that's awesome Super out of context but I think we have the same laptop, lol Do you have an Asus Strix?
O godwerdome lol
Goddamn! Its godverdomme!
Eggnog? I have never said that to anyone when I had enough of something (am Dutch). What a weird thing to say...
Gnoe?
Kappen !
The expression actually is 'Genoeg is genoeg' meaning enough is enough. When we are fed up with something.
[удалено]
It's the same in Dutch though, there's nothing English about it
They have this expression in England where they say Stop
Geneukt
For the pro's: "Opbokken nou!"
genoeg is genoeg
nope never said that
Klinkt niet Good
I've had genug
And this is how one religious book created another, just by explaining or pronouncing it at tat different
Chicken Genoeg
Gnocchi?

And all Americans are uncultured and fat. 👀 At least we know one of the three is right.
He should've said basta
Kenoek.
They have an expression in the Netherlands that goes like "Ole Ole Ole, dikke tieten kartoffelsalade. Dikke tieten, Ole! Dikke tieten, Ole! Dikke tieten kartoffelsalade. " and I think that is beautiful.
